POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
1.
Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application.
The correct power
tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
2.
Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off.
Any power tool that cannot be
controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
3.
Disconnect the plug from the power source before making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing power tools.
Such preventative safety measures reduce the risk of starting
the power tool accidentally.
4.
Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the
power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool.
Power tools are dangerous in the
hands of untrained users.
5.
Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and
any other condition that may affect the power tools operation. If damaged, have the power tool
repaired before use.
Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
6.
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges
are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
7.
Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc., in accordance with these instructions and in
the manner intended for the particular type of power tool, taking into account the working
conditions and the work to be performed.
Use of the power tool for operations different from
those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
SERVICE
1.
Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement
parts
. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES FOR WALL CHASERS
1.
Always use guard provided with the tool. The guard must be securely attached to the power tool
and positioned for maximum safety, so the least amount of wheel is exposed towards the
operator. Position yourself and bystanders away from the plane of the rotating wheel.
The guard
helps to protect operator from broken wheel fragments and accidental contact with wheel.
2.
The rated speed of the cutting discs must be at least equal to the maximum speed marked on
the power tool.
Cutting discs running faster than their rated speed can break and fly apart.
3.
Cutting discs must be used only for recommended applications.
Side forces applied to these
discs may cause them to shatter.
4.
The arbor size of the cutting discs and flanges must properly fit the spindle of the power tool.
Discs
and flanges with arbor holes that do not match the mounting hardware of the power tool will run
out of balance, vibrate excessively and may cause loss of control.
5.
Do not use damaged cutting discs. Before each use, inspect the discs for chips and cracks. If
power tool or wheel is dropped, inspect for damage or install an undamaged disc. After
inspecting and installing the disc, position yourself and bystanders away from the plane of the
cutting disc and run the power tool at maximum no load speed for one minute.
6.
Hold the power tool only by the insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation where
the cutting tool may contact hidden wiring or its own cord.
Contact with a “live” wire will also
make exposed metal parts of the power tool “live” and shock the operator.
7.
Position the cord clear of the cutting discs.
If you lose control of the power tool, the cord may be
cut or snagged and your hand or arm may be pulled into the cutting disc.
8.
Never lay the power tool down until the cutting discs have come to a complete stop.
The cutting
discs may grab the surface and pull the power tool out of your control.
9.
Do not run the power tool while carrying it at your side
. Accidental contact with the cutting disc
could snag your clothing, pulling the accessory into your body.
